No, but autoformers may be useful in situations where low voltage is endemic.
On my current trip, where I am limited to 15 amp outlets, I've used it to do voltage support for the electric heaters, and the microwave. The "feed" to the RV was 100 feet of #10 wire.
Boost was from 106 up to 116 volts. That allows the heaters to come much closer to their rated output in watts.
Since the Magnum is not available, I'm back to monitoring voltage and wattage.
